Car integration has been a killer app. The ability to talk handsfree, stream music without wires, etc.

Even if you swear by a headset in your car BT still allows call control via steering wheel buttons so you don't have take yours hands off.

Sure, if I can get the damn things to pair. But if my phone has paired to something else, or my wife has paired her phone to the car again, then it's ALL BETS OFF!!!
Don't get me started on this: "or my wife has paired her phone to the car again"

Why is it that with my car, while it presumably supports having like 8 phones paired to it, I have to re-pair everytime someone else pairs?

If I'm in the car, but my wife isn't use my phone. If my wife is in the car, but I'm not use hers. If we're both in the car, pick one phone (I don't really care how). How hard is that? Rather it just seems to want to pair to whoever paired last even if that phone isn't around anymore.

This just kills me.
